  • IQ score is a sham - the tests are quite fallible, and historically they were used as a justification to discriminate against people who are poorer or with worse access to education. Nowadays, I see it quite a lot in the context of eugenics, where some professors and philosophers attribute poor people being poor due to their low intelligence (low IQ score), and that they can’t be helped while rich people got where they are due to their intelligence (as in they have a high IQ score on average).


  • Shy bladder syndrome - I can only take go on a toilet and do my business at my own home while no one else is nearby, and this makes it very hard whenever I get hospitalized, have to stay somewhere overnight (thankfully never happened), or being in school/work as I can never use the toilet once the need arises - gotta wait until I’m back home for that.

    The worst it had affected me was at a hospital once where it took me around 2-3 days to be able to finally start urinating there after countless attempts over the time period, and 2 weeks to be able to take a shit. It’s no fun.

    Here’s something about American politics to provoke a lot of people, especially on this site:

    Donald Trump should be elected in 2024 purely to serve as an exam to the left. Liberalism clearly doesn’t work anymore, there’s a lot of discontent in the world and a shift towards far-right politics, while left is almost non-existent in almost any country, it doesn’t have an answer. With Donald Trump getting elected for his revenge term and demolishing democracy, hopefully it’s a catastrophe strong enough for the left to wake up.








  • I’m someone who doesn’t consent to data collection when it comes to choices given by GDPR - if I visit a new website and I get the popup that says how they value my privacy, I’m always going to customize the settings and have everything disabled.

    However, as of “recently” a lot of websites have added a “legitimate interest” button which as far as I understand is a loophole, and unlike the other advertising options, they’re not checked off by default which is annoying.




  • It’s natural - reddit does something bad, people look for an alternative, join up then start losing interest either after a while either due to toxicity, seeing content they don’t like, not having reddit features they used, or the low amount of content and start migrating back.

    The user count will probably not stop dropping anytime soon, unless reddit does something again and blackout 2.0 happens.
